Nintendo's eShop Christmas sale is surprisingly decent

Nintendo has thrown open its gaily coloured box of festive discount treats, revealing full details of its eShop Christmas sale for Switch, 3DS, and Wii U.

Nintendo isn't exactly known for its generous savings when it comes to digital sales, but a cursory glance at this year's Christmas offers looks pretty good. There are more than a few decent discounts and, notably, it includes a surprisingly broad selection of Switch titles too.

As is always the caveat, you won't find any Nintendo first-party games here, and you'll almost certainly be able to find the larger titles for much cheaper in physical form.

Over on Switch, the superb Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is reduced from £49.99 to £33.32, Puyo Puyo Tetris is £24.49 down from £34.99, Namco Museum is almost 50 per cent off at £14.99, One Piece: Unlimited World Red - Deluxe Edition is £35.75 down from £54.74. and Lego City Undercover is £29.99 instead of £49.99.

In terms of smaller indie games, however, there are far richer picking on Switch. There are discounts on Inti Creates' incredible retro shooters for instance: Mighty Gunvolt Burst is £6.29 from £8.99, Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack is £25.19 down from £31.49, and Blaster Master Zero is £6.29 instead of £8.99.

You can also get a fiver off SteamWorld Dig 2, Shantae: half-Genie Hero, and The Mummy Demastered. You'll also find savings on the likes of Rocket league, Overcooked: Special Edition, Kingdom: New Lands, and Has-Been Heroes.
